This blog is an off-shoot of my first blog known as Patra's Place, where I show my linen collection. I had featured a number of embroidered peacocks there, which attracted a lot of interest, so I decided it was worthwhile to transfer them all to a separate blog, along with pictures of other peacock-related items.

Beaded Shawl.

One of the members of the Embroiderers Guild was at the talk about embroidered peacocks that I presented a few months ago. She came up to me today and gave me this stunning beaded shawl. She inherited it from a well-travelled friend, and although she doesn't know where her friend got it, I am guessing it might be from India. Here are some photos - one of the full length, and one closer up.
